We’re bible-believing Christians seeking to live godly lives – failing miserably – but ever thankful for the grace of God who has saved us through Jesus despite our attempts at “goodness”.
__________
One purpose of this blog is to have a family record of our lives that we can enjoy and share with the kids as we all grow older. I don’t do photo albums or scrapbooks, but I do enjoy journaling and taking photos, so blogging became the best way to “chronicle” the lives of the Hayes family.
Another purpose is to be a light to the world – we want to be transparent about our beliefs, viewpoints and lives as Christians. We hope and pray that this blog will, at the very least, cause people to ask significant eternal questions.
The original reason this blog was started was to keep in touch with family and friends overseas. Blogging meant that I wasn’t inundating inboxes of friends overseas with inane details of our lives, but at the same time, not neglecting our family who actually do want to know those inane details!
Now that you understand the reasons behind this “life chronicle”, come and meet the family….
Daddy Craig: ROD of G4S Cape Provinces and Free State, South Africa; CEO of Hayes Household
Mommy Taryn: MD of Hayes Household
Daughter Kiera-Lee: chief mommy’s helper & mischief maker
Daughter Katie: assistant mommy’s helper & co-mischief maker
Son Samuel: sweetest smiler & chief climber
Son Micah: busiest toddler and new chief climber
